1. Connect the 500 Interface to the serial port of the computer and plug the Force Sensor into analog channel A.
   
   
2. Assemble a Base with Support Rod and use the Universal Clamp to attach a horizontal support bar to the stand. Push the Force Sensor onto the horizontal support and tighten the screw on the sensor (see photo below).
   
   
3. Attach a small length (5-6 cm) of string to the hook on the Force Sensor. Secure the mass hanger on the other end of the string by wrapping the string through the pinch slot on the hanger (see photo below).
   
   
   Note: PASPORT sensors are used for experiment setup purposes only and are not compatible with the 500 Interface.
